The universe doesn't care what we really want.
Reality is not obliged to conform to our desires.
Sure, I would love to be immortal, to be forever young if you could somehow give me the chance. I can only imagine all the wonders I would witness. Hopefully, I would see humanity go to the stars and build a truly rational civilization. I wonder if atheists who say otherwise aren't expressing disdain for sour grapes.
Do I spend a lot of time wishing for that or thinking of that possibility? No. The universe isn't going to change just because I want it to. I will grow old and die and that can't be changed. When I do die, what will happen will happen. I'm prepared for the very distinct possibility that this is the only life I'll know, that God gives us one shot at the brass ring and then it's fade-to-black-roll-the-credits.
I might like to at least get an epilogue but, once again, the universe doesn't give a crap what I want so no use even discussing it.
So why do you even ask?
